US immigration related question: My wife’s prior employer filed in EB2 and she got a i140, but later the employer revoked it after she moved to a new company. The new company started the process all over again and she got her i140 approved, but we realized they filed it in EB3!! Her priority date is current in EB2. Has anyone been in this situation? She was really hoping to file for i485. Is there anyway this can be remediated?

Not an immigration layer. But I would think she has to work with the immigration team and her leadership to file for change in employment category to move form eb3 to eb2.

But I am curious, why did her previous employer revoke the i140? I thought that is something that can’t be done once i140 is 6 months old?

Apparently they can. They revoked it and closed that firm.

I thought if the I140 was revoked successfully she doesn’t keep her PD, thus she would not be current on EB2.
